Quasi Christ?

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

here's a telling bit I like, that led me to have form ideas about Sev/Christ:

Claw I, first paragraph:
"Morwenna's face floated in the single beam of light, lovely and framed in hair
dark as my cloak; blood from her neck pattered to the stones. Her lips moved
without speech. Instead I saw framed within them (as though I were the Increate,
peeping through his rent in Eternity to behold the World of Time) the farm,
Stachys her husband tossing in agony upon his bed, little Chad at the pond,
bathing his fevered face."

since I can't bold it:
(as though I were the Increate, peeping through his rent in Eternity to behold the World of Time)

I read Severian as "his rent in Eternity" here.
